Racist allegation??

[Hullfan]

Apologies if I've missed this on here, but didn't Robbie Mulhern report a racist comment against one of his team mates last week against London. IIRC it was at a scrum!!

Do we really want to discuss this?

Tomkins complained to the ref that a London player made a racist remark towards Masoe in the scrum.

Would be amazed if they found any evidence to support the claim.

   Remember when Tony Banham (Doncaster)another Bl--dy Sunday on U Tube, was playing Sunday morning amateur rugby in Hull one of the opposing players made a remark about the colour of his skin +James Hunt.Tony didn't react but about three scrums later the player who called him was found lying face down in the mud.Tony was a pub and club bouncer in Hull so was not one to upset.He was a decent forward for Donny in short bursts and played 114 games for them.

I remember a Keighley stand off abusing Towns Jimmy pickering, who then pinned him down and spent what seemed like a minute pummelling him into the ground. When they dug him back out he had no idea where he was ha ha, was lovely to see.

A great guy.

He also had a pub in Chapeltown, Leeds. Now anybody who ran a pub in that area had to be a tough nut.I believe he also ran a pub in Bradford. Two nice places to be a pub landlord.

 I had the pleasure of working in William Hills in Chapletown for a couple of weeks in the late sixties.What an education that was.A tough area.

Sent Off,

                I remember the pub in Leeds Tony Banham ran. It was basically in Harehills, it was the FForde Green. I was working there in probably the late 70,s renovating the place for Tetleys. What a pub that was, if you did not have a broken nose you was out of place.I do not know how long Tony ran the pub but he seemed a really good and polite guy until any trouble started then you did not want to be on there. I believe it is now an Asian Supermarket. How times have changed.

I thought it was interesting that the ref asked him not to repeat it, granted i know he knows he's miked up, but if he's making an allegation, at least let him tell you what it is and who the alligator is.

And you tell him to make it snappy

Didn't Tony Banham run a notorious pub on the pleasant orchard park estate in the 80/90's. Heard some worrying rumours about that place.
